The Club at Venetian Bay
About
The Club at Venetian Bay is part of a unique residential community with a Mediterranean theme. Colorful buildings, mosaics, and Mediterranean vegetation surround the championship golf course. The biggest challenge for the designers was transforming what was formerly a cow pasture into a lush, challenging course. The design team of Clifton, Ezell, and Clifton seemed to have little trouble doing so. The front nine plays through the woods while the back nine is more open with a few links-style touches. The most prominent feature of this golf course is the abundance of sand bunkers. There are more than 100 strategically placed throughout. The bunkers present a formidable test but they are nicely balanced with ample landing areas. They are also geared more towards low handicappers, which means they aren't intended to kill your round.

Venetian bay
Very nice course in great shape
Was very busy but everything ran smoothly
Will play play more frequently
Very nice
This course is very good. I recommand this couse, it worth the money.
Something Positive
I have played here while on vacations for probably 15 years. Always been a nice course, but the employees seem different. They were uniformly pleasant. The course was in great shape. It's fun to play, not too difficult (although some of the holes, particularly on the back, can be round wreckers). Played early in the morning, off-season, so pace of play was good. Altogether, a fun day.
Great course, good layout, fun to play.
This course is in good shape, greens are firm and fast, rolling true. Fairways and t-boxes are good, some spots burned out but overall in good shape. Due to a tournament the pins were challenging, however it made for a fun round. Will be back to play this again.
Really Slow
They had a women's tournament Today that really pushed things back. I wouldn't have purchased on this day if I had known. The course should list this on there specials.
6 hour round
Our teetime was 11:10. We got off at 11:43 due to an on house tournament. We waited on every shot on every hole. The greens were not in great condition with areas with no grass and some had sandy lines on them which really affected the putts.
The staff were friendly but did nothing about the slow play.
The greens were very inconsistent regarding speed and the holes were crowned.
I understand the course has new owners. Maybe they will fix the course issues.
Challenging Course
A great course that is steadily improving with good maintenance practices. The course can be challenging, a few greens need some extra care but overall is a great course with great staff..
Putting Greens need serious love
This was my first time playing at The Venetian and I have always wanted to play here since I was a little kid. The layout was great and the staff are extremely friendly. The condition if the putting greens is what really let me down however. It was like putting off outside carpet in my patio. Absolutely terrible. You cannot judge or read the green speeds at all. The greens may be infected with some sorr of fungus od could be from too much sun but victoria hills or even the deltona club have better greens than this for the same price.
Great Course!
Always a fun place to play! Friendly staff. Very accommodating with times and allowing you to play alone
course was ready to play
The course was well kept and fun to play.
Went into the club house for lunch. Very
slow and food not the best.
Course Maintenance Deteriorating
Greens have many bad spots around edges covered with greensand. Sand traps need more sand and drainage as they have standing water. Fairways have very thin spots. Coures was aerated a few months ago but it has not thickened the grass coverage for the winter.
Great shape
Thought the course was in great shape. With all the rain (water in the bunkers complaint?) this handled it well. Great range, liked starting on the back 9. Greens were good, a mistake on 3 greens with fluid is recovered, however still visible. If they spray painted the greens, it would not affect your roll. Pink flags for Breast Cancer Awareness was a nice touch. Great place for couples to play. Back soon.
Course is going downhill
This course was sold new owners aren't doing much work on it course itself is going downhill have a lot of dead spots in the fairways a lot of dead spots around the greens and the greens you can't put on them they're the worst screens you've ever put it on I have to laugh at some of the people with their comments saying that they're fast screens they must play on greens at put to a six or a five all the time then
